Funding, News and Announcements

The fundamental aim of this grants program is to understand the biology underlying the psychiatric disease anorexia nervosa, with the goal of accelerating progress toward prevention and treatment.

The Klarman Family Foundation will fund grants to academic researchers for 1–3 year projects to research the biology of this disease, and the questions of how and why it develops and persists.  Awards will range from $150,000 to $250,000 USD.  The funder encourages approaches that incorporate neurobiology with an up-to-date understanding of the symptoms and dysfunction associated with anorexia nervosa.
